Loor typeface #3116

Open LosDragonflyos opened 5 months ago

Good day, as the project is licensed under GPL and you have included “Loor.ttf” in the files, is it fair to assume it is free to use? I have not been able to find it anywhere—could you kindly provide a source? Thank you!

We are moving to Roboto, so we will be removing Loor from the repository. Thanks!

Thank you for your response. Where is the Loor typeface from anyway? As for Roboto, that’s a huge shame! First of all, it’s from Google and ubiquitous nowadays, secondly its legibility is awful. Maybe try something like Github’s Mona/Hubot, DM Sans/Rethink Sans, Uncut Sans, Fira Sans/FiraGo, Hanken Grotesk, IBM Plex, Inter, Space Text/Grotesk, Hauora, Paysage, Reforma, or Source Sans. All clean, free, professional, and much more legible than Roboto. Cheers!

I'd also look in direction of Noto Sans / Open Sans - remember that for messenger it's super-important to have all possible language support....Roboto does that, but i agree it's legibility sucks compared to something like Noto Sans.
